de-marketing articles. Rarely are such articles published in
highly circulated papers as a whim. Rather a structured approach
is taken to achieve the ends that have been set in the agenda.

the wording of facts in such a manner that the facts remain and
that the authors intention of de-marketing a product or an idea
are also achieved. Given below is an analysis of the article in
a manner that is consistent with various audiences that will be
reading this article.
Target Audience:
The target audience in this case will be parents of teenagers
and people who belong to the middle age segment. The reason for
targeting such an audience is very simple. This segment
primarily has the highest income compared to all other segment.
Having a high income also implies that the audience is in a
position to command the money that is extended to youngsters and
that is spent on various products. Therefore the appeal to such
an audience and outraging such an audience is likely to have a
direct impact on the sales of the targeted company. The result
therefore would be achieved that the author has targeted
towards.

Publics:
The various publics that the author has appealed to are as
follows:
• The legal and judicial community
• Various not for profit organizations.
These publics are of particular importance as they directly
influence the purchase patterns and the trends that are present
in the market. The publics require a considerable amount of
wooing and this normally takes place in the form of public
relations and sales promotion tools. The effect of this is such
that companies spend considerable amount of time and effort in
wooing the publics. The effort must be such that the public is
not aware of the actual reasons of wooing. In this article the
focus has been put on the publics that are concerned with the
health and well being of the society.
Will Created:
The good will that has been created by the article is very
obvious. This article is subtly promoting the efforts of the
World Health Organization in eliminating the ill effects of the
smoking industry. The ill effects of the smoking habit are well
known top many, likewise the promotional tools that are followed
by the companies are also varied and normally very effective in
luring the younger crowds that are more prone to attractive
advertising.

The objectivity of the article is very apparent as the purpose
is the dissuasion of smoking habits. If this is viewed in line
with the medical evidence then it becomes very apparent that
good will organizations such as the UNO are devoted towards
producing a better society.
Ethics:
The ethics of the article are very apparent. On the analysis and
viewing of the topic under consideration, it can be said that
the article rates high on the ethical issue.
